#

Oh wait, no, you're right yabai

#

I was thinking Gluttony

#

but that was Bready

wraith spoke
#

gluttony was siren/mihara right

#

bready was bs

#

mmast manchor was pre eva

marsh basin
#

Black Snake, ye

#

Brain too tired after seven SR runs

wraith spoke
#

playing 7 accounts what a chad

marsh basin
#

Arcana only a must pull for electric raids, so not counting her heh

wraith spoke
#

i play 1 and get tired worrysleep

marsh basin
#

Nah, 4 accounts

#

Just had to redo some

#

I have 6 total, but two can't do solo raid

wraith spoke
#

i didnt even redo my casual run

#

only 15b

marsh basin
#

One is R only run kek

hallow thistle
#

There’s precedent of unit release that doesn’t really fit and continues to never fit afterwards

#

Sora could be considered one for all but the most dedicated pvpers

#

Others:

  • original Ade
  • Bay
  • Clay
  • Crust
  • Flora (debatable)
  • Zwei (debatable)
robust jewel
#

Trash emote already for Delta?

marsh basin
#

And then Tove was just half a year before her time delugiggle

marsh basin
#

More a unit for newer/weaker players to fill slots while waiting for more meta units/dupes for treasures

hallow thistle
#

I avoided listing some of the more “common sense” ones that wouldn’t fit - like Smol White, or Rapunzel: Pure Grace, or Mori. Or even Nihilister. I also avoided seasonal units.

But compared to the entire pool of units, I guess being able to list just 7 busts (with Sora included), means ShiftUp rarely releases total busts for standard pool pickup banners.

robust jewel
#

So she is quality Anni bait

hallow thistle
#

Some like Tove takes a while to come into their own, as new units are released.. small chance it happens to Ninja Delta, but could

marsh basin
#

She's much better than Quiry KEKL

#

She's not bad. Just not a must pull

robust jewel
#

But overall mostly eye candy

marsh basin
#

A unit for spooks when pulling Xmas limiteds

hallow thistle
#

Ah, yeah, I skipped over units that were useful for their time. I should’ve listed Quiry though, very few touched her for PvP. That’d be 8 standard pool pickup busts then… at least

marsh basin
#

Nero and Moran were also mostly busts for PvE

#

Nero good for like two raids

hallow thistle
#

I think Ninja Delta is too useful to be really a bust but veterans don’t need her. So idk? A pseudo-bust? KEKS

marsh basin
#

She's just a comfy unit

#

Like B Alice

robust jewel
#

She looks to be a unit for The 12233 setup

hallow thistle
#

Nero and Moran became CA stars so not counting them. Same with not counting Tove even though she was trash for months

marsh basin
#

CA which is relevant for less than 1% of playerbase probably KEKL

hallow thistle
#

If I go there, I’d have to start counting certain raid units as busts. Like K kekw

marsh basin
#

K didn't have a raid

#

That's why she's a bust kek

wraith spoke

# hallow thistle If I go there, I’d have to start counting certain raid units as busts. Like K <:...

Maiden: Ice Rose, Guillotine: Winter Slayer - white dragon sr
Rapi: Red Hood, Scarlet: Black Shadow - mod sr
Mana - ur
Mast: Romantic Maid, Anchor: Innocent Maid - ur
Asuka: Wille, Rei Ayanami (Tentative Name), Asuka Shikinami Langley, Rei Ayanami, Mari Makinami Illustrious - MO sr
Trina - ur

Emma Eunhwa Vesti TUs - zizz sr
Bade Bmilk - mw sr
Ada Jill - gluttony2 sr

#

iirc it went like that?

soft sage
wraith spoke
#

right

eager ravine
#

Trina/Scarlet is so meh for SR.. I wonder if they held back due to concerns over pvp. Isabel actually felt like a pilgrim this raid. Anyway outside of anni lots of skips/borderline skips this year

wraith spoke
#

i skipped crust k sora, argueably TU and jill could be skips but borderline useable on their own sr (likely dead next sr)

#

i think everything else has a use

regal jetty

#

Raven: Am I a joke to you

#

Eve: You cannot funnel without me hahaha

green quartz
#

And everyone.

#

Arca Isa will 100% be used this raid but not Scar Trina.

#

Well not like we have alternative DPS to Scar Trina yet anyway.

#

Yeah, I was right.

#

Scar Trina didn't get used at least by Kira.

#

Interesting comps ngl.

#

I did expect T4.

#

T3 with ExiaTr is unexpected but it makes sense. T2 is kinda expected (didn't know DrakeTr would be better than Doropity, though).

#

T1 is wild, but if you think about it, it makes sense too.

#

MastM, Liter, Crown, Crown + Helm all can buff Cindy's Burst. It's well thought out.

#

T5 is just, let's slap whatever remains together and pick the best one.

#

So, analyzing back, there were 4 "funnel" teams here.

wraith spoke
#

~~i ended up not investing in her after spreading propaganda ~~

green quartz
#

I never said I was against you.

#

More like I didn't realize you were suggesting Tove Isa Arca.

#

I was against Trina Scar.

wraith spoke
#

I never believed in Trina scar arcana Isabel I think that was the least likely outcome

green quartz
#

I know.

#

It's a wack team.

#

Lol.

wraith spoke
#

I thought either tove or with Cindy to get more Cindy bursts

green quartz
#

I rmb Kira suggesting it.

#

I was like hmm u sure

green quartz
#

Pre raid

#

I already felt like Arca Isa would be a must.

#

I told people in Maincord no Arca Isa = doom.

wraith spoke
#

Scarlet believers in shambles

green quartz
#

My acc has no Arca.

#

It's bound to be doomed.

wraith spoke
#

4 frames and benched

wraith spoke
#

But I didn't invest

green quartz
wraith spoke
green quartz
#

People think they are the same.

#

Cus Scar and Isa deal the same damage in Scar Trina Arca Isa team

#

But they're dumb

wraith spoke
#

Scar trina shafts ur 2nd dps

#

Arcana Isabel boofs ur 2nd dps

#

With more bursts

#

While being stacked on buffs

green quartz
#

Arca Isa are also supports grizzlyFacepalm

hallow thistle
#

Tove + Isabel + Arcana + Dolla + Drake, right?

green quartz
#

I was like 50-50 whether Scar Trina would be used when I tried to cook

#

But I knew for sure Arca Isa had 100% use chance

wraith spoke
#

Tbh I thought scar trina would be t5 but I was also set on not building jill

green quartz
#

I mean Arcana is an SG too.

#

But I think it depends on Isa and Arca investments.

wraith spoke
#

I don't think changing from scar trina to Jill would have been good aside from topest of top ranks

#

Because scar trina already likely has investment from pvp > the DMG diff prob wouldn't have mattered

green quartz
wraith spoke
#

Vs investing in a Trina Isabel instead

green quartz
#

One unit vs two unit.

#

Maybe not for PvP, though

wraith spoke
green quartz
#

Cus Scar Trina give PvP edge

#

Technically more economic

wraith spoke
#

So a lot of people already have them

#

At some level of invest

green quartz
#

But if you don't care about PvP

#

Arguably

#

Jill is better

wraith spoke
#

Ya

green quartz
#

But they will both die anyway

#

Powercrept soon

wraith spoke
#

Overall account wise I think Trina scar is better to have tho

#

Cuz pvp aswell

green quartz
#

Jill is a onetime use unit

wraith spoke
#

Jill is like dead dead

#

Yea

green quartz
#

This time Bready will no longer be an optional investment. Well she has never been but I didn't see reason investing in Water.

#

If Anniv is Water, you will invest in Anni units anyway,

#

So now there's reason to invest in Bready.

#

So preparation tip for T50/100/200 chasers, Bready is a must.

wraith spoke
#

I already invested in bready

#

I didn't invest into xguillo phantom as much I hope they get benched

#

For ani

green quartz
#

They have like 30-50% chance of use.

#

But I think investments in the anni units will be the determiner.

wraith spoke
#

I've had bready maxed since black snake cuz I used her for clear

#

The 109 CD/h was calling me

wraith spoke
#

I do think phantom and xguillo r weakest links for replacement tho

#

Like useable but not really amazing

#

So I didn't go hard I hope Ani replaces them

green quartz
#

As in some people will use them.

#

Some won't.

#

Still the biggest determiner will be anniv units cus funnel.

#

And moderately Bready, QQ, HelmTr, and XLud.

marsh basin
#

I didn't put many rocks into Stellar Blade units cuz iron is my dump element

dim wadi
#

regret it already

#

off to test I go (she is trash)

Oh game is up?

how can they be this sloppy

Oh you didn’t restart yet wahahaha thought that was even after restart

Ok they fixed it

#

Cos i was crashing in shooting range

ripe wharf
#

Ok test her now hup

#

10/1/1 delta vs 10/10/10 helm, iron weak

#

Did i just waste my mats? kekw

stone cove
#

Considering that your Delta has literally half as much combat power as your Treasure Helm, probably not. That's pretty good returns for maxing out just one skill.

#

Also, a more fair comparison would probably be Mast vs. Delta

gray terrace
#

Try xlud

#

And also without eve

#

Also did you have same amount of bursts

#

Helmt team should gen faster in auto still I think

merry forge

For a flex unit i think she's not a bad option if helmt is needed somewhere else

Helm higher damage overall on auto due to the faster burst gen

If just considering 12FB in total. Helm still had about 15s remaining

I want ninja bazookas more

marsh basin
raw swift
#

If only poli treasure didnt only added pvp kits instead of actual kits buff
Delta kinda make a good pair with her both defender b2 40s
But alas

eager ravine
# green quartz And everyone.

I was telling everyone isabel would be op this raid tho xd.. scarlet trina I knew they weren't as good.. but didn't expect THAT bad.. at least jill doesn't require a support that's not great for other units.. could def see scarlet gone (at least with trina) by next raid

marsh basin
#

Biggest issue with Trina is that her best buffs only affect Scarlet

#

The other unit with her basically gets nothing aside from MAYBE the burst damage bonus in the case of, say, Raven

#

And Scarlet doesn't have 2025 hypercarry DPS

eager ravine
#

Yeh hypercarry need to be 2bn +.. my scarlet wasn't even close to that lol

marsh basin
#

Though stats showed that Trina was still one of the best options for T5 delugiggle

#

Only 16% less usage than Arcana

#

Almost tied with Mari and 22% above Grave

marsh basin
eager ravine
#

I couldn't find a place for grave myself

marsh basin
#

Grave was screwed kit-wise this time

molten wing
#

anyone know deltas skill prio?

marsh basin
#

Only benefit she gave really was burst gen

marsh basin
#

No point in investing until she has a use-case

molten wing
#

k ty

marsh basin
#

Espcially with anni coming

#

Knowing Shift Up, both units will be 10/10/10

regal jetty
#

Trina just needed to work with 2 elec AR

regal jetty
marsh basin
#

For a more constructive post than just "Skip":

Delta NT is a comfortable flex unit who provides a mixture of healing and buffs, albeit with lackluster potency in both.

She shines primarily for F2P and newer players who still lack Helm's treasure or who can't run solo raid with healers on a consistent basis.

She likely won't see use outside of raids, as we already have healers and buffers of significantly higher potency in the wishlist pool.

Her banner should still be up by the time we see the kits for the anniversary units, and she should be added to the standard pull immediately in the anni update, so, waiting until the end of the banner is highly advised should you be considering pulling.

TL;DR: Low priority comfort unit. Leaving for wishlist is ideal in favor of anni/Xmas/NY units

#

Now back to work I go flee

Has been for 3 years

it's good, Elysion really needs more wishlist nikkes

#

holy shiet her taunt effect looks so damn cool... she makes a hologram decoy or something

I am tweaking so bad.. really like her design.. but i know i should wait till anni kits are released KEKL

Damn. Her design is top tier. Not so much for her kits. Neocchi

not to mention she has the best machinegun shooting animation yet, everyone else (aside from summer elegg) stiff as a board

sad to say she's not gonna be seen like that in a daily baiss.. i mean compared to meta ones that you use for like anything... she's only be benched..

i mean my head agrees but my other head... FolkwangSatisfied

#

Luck is a thing kek

#

Have another union mate from first half-anni who has never rolled Privaty. LB0 from freebie

ripe wharf
#

I’ve been playing since Tove

#

Only got scarlet this year too

marsh basin
#

Yeah, the Privaty union mate also still has no SW sadsimp

eager pilot
#

I can't get Isabel for the life of me.

#

That’s good tho

#

Each isabel and harran could’ve been a red hood or scarbs

I have every Pilgrim besides her. I just want her to have her.

Isabel > Scarlet for PvE tho kek

#

Now Harran, that's a rip

ripe wharf
#

They dogshit

#

Did they nerf Scarlet in PvP? I haven't touched PvP in a long time so I wouldn't know.

Nah scarlet just old

Trina was built to buff her in PvP

trust the plan

wraith spoke
#

@green quartz

#

i think it ended here

green quartz
#

Yeah shes shit then time to undo my review because of your mistaken math

river tapir
#

so is she caca or not

#

she looks caca

rose bay
#

so basically SR only unit

#

but she revives maids kind of

river tapir
#

oh i skipped bready

rose bay
#

1 delta burst - 4 crown bursts to keep bready shooting

river tapir
#

I broke my no waifus only meta rule

#

because she is such an anti-waifu

rose bay
#

but she's so fucking fat

river tapir
#

that's why she's an anti-waifu

#

no fatties

rose bay
#

cringe

river tapir
#

that team is using siren, crown and Thelm kekw

#

that is indeed some POWERFUL copium

rose bay
#

i am

#

the bready main

river tapir
#

ahh okay, you should ask for a flair

rose bay
#

doc said no more special snowflake roles

river tapir
#

she's the only unit I refused to pull on bc of her looks kekw

rose bay
#

except cdub because he deserves it for all the pain he went thorugh

river tapir
#

cdub has been through some shit

#

i'm glad mihara got an overspec

rose bay
#

delta HAS to play with crown or she fucking dies instantly

#

so might as well go all out on her team

#

it's funny how delta is team 1 or team bench with no inbetween

river tapir
#

holy shit she steals crown?

#

yeah that kind of makes her caca

rose bay
#

she has to play with a defender ally

#

how many defender units do you know

river tapir
#

otherwise you'd have to invest in so much delta to make her worth it

#

Crown, Centi, blanc

#

off the top of my head, but I just closed nikke

rose bay
#

basically those + cindy

river tapir
#

you could bunny revival her with blanc for 52% damage taken up

rose bay
#

and how many of those would be able to play with delta

river tapir
#

if they stack

rose bay
#

blanc can't go 2b2 because she's 60s without bunny

river tapir
#

rogue, blanc

#

rouge blanc, delta, cindy, (anis?)

rose bay
#

so you have to run bursting noir or rouge in a cindyless team

#

Delta basically has 2 team options

river tapir
#

what's wrong with bursting rouge? she's a good B1

#

and she enables blanc

rose bay
#

i meant bursting noir

#

blanc noir has the issue of rouge doing barely anything for units that aren't cindy and cindy team already has an off burst unit

river tapir
#

the team I just tossed up should be decentish, but it's kind of a stretch to call her worth it

#

esp with anniversary around the corner

#

iirc this is the last event before anni

rose bay
#

i think delta basically has 2 teams, crown team 1 that lets you use helm and maids elsewhere, or cindy if you don't have xmaiden

river tapir
#

that's pretty awful

#

taking crown from a main team is brutal

rose bay
#

depends on how bad being perma taunted is too

#

you could put her with a different b2 but she'll probably die

river tapir
#

it's traditionally been so bad that the only ones who can survive are things with invuln phases

rose bay
#

also she'll need a healer because taunt delta doesn't self heal

river tapir
#

like noah or makima or crown

rose bay
#

basically she's a SR only unit if you really like bready but don't want to waste maids on her

#

but you have to waste crown on her

river tapir
#

so even then not actually worth it

#

just because of crown

rose bay
#

depends

#

crown delta is worse than crown mast and maybe crown helm but it gives you a lot of flexibility

#

also maybe anni will have more defenders

#

probably not because this is the bait banner and they don't usually balance for them

#

if any of the 3 new pilgrims are defenders delta gains a lot of value

#

also she's a slot 5 unit that doesn't need overloads and barely needs skill levels

#

that's probably important

#

if anyone wasted 100 rocks and a billion books getting xmaiden or selegg to 10/10/10 12/12

marsh basin
#

Lemme get on computer and I'll actually test her vs Harvester delul

marsh basin
#

Yeah, looks like Delta is perfectly fine vs single-hit attacks due to the very fast shield regeneration

#

Harvesters beams can't hurt her

#

The machine guns are a problem since I'm running her 4/4/4 with +0 T9s and R0 doll tho KEKL

#

Shield HP is insufficient

#

Crown died 7 seconds from the end

marsh basin
#

M Mast at home deluthonk

#

Died basically the same time Crown did

#

So, with M Anchor's help, actually survived almost the entire fight with taunt vs Harvester with only +0 T9M gear

#

So that's another thought

#

Delta can function as a lesser M Mast when M Mast is used with Crown deluthonk

#

In fact, with M Mast, I can't actually keep Siren alive on 99% FA

#

Though, if manually controlled to make sure everyone lives, obviously M Mast is far superior to Delta heh

faint juniper
#

More or Less same Damage Amp as Xlud's dmg amplification
without the damage of Xlud herself

marsh basin
#

Yup

#

You're trading off extra DPS for healing, basically

#

Although with distr damage DPS, the DPS loss would be less

#

Manual Kraken (M Mast at Home: Seamaids Edition™)

#

Anchor/Crown at Home™ kek

#

M Mast at Home: Crown Edition™ (alternating bursts)

#

B Alice for comparison

marsh basin
#

So Delta > B Alice in the cases where B Alice is used delugiggle

solid vector
#

Balice creep

marsh basin
#

Yeah, testing her out, I feel like she's basically a Jack of All Trades, Master of None unit

#

She takes traits from Crown, M Mast, and M Anchor and puts them together, inferior to each of them individually in order to provide flexibility

#

She'll be quite useful for anyone missing any of those units deluthonk

zenith mauve
#

Have past pre-anni units given any insight into anni unit kits? Like, as an example, would Delta be designed to work with Nayuta or whoever we get?

#

I'm just starving for Nayuta info tbh

marsh basin
#

Not the units directly before, no

#

Quiry was pre-Red Hood, and Rumani was pre-Cindy

#

Rouge, who was the precursor support for Cindy, was three events prior

#

Tia/Naga, who were Red Hood's main supports for a long time, were two events prior

zenith mauve
#

okie dokie, 'tis my first anni, so I have no idea what to expect

swift cliff
marsh basin
#

Yeah, we'll want both

#

And we'll hopefully see their kits during the stream

#

We always get at least summarized versions, and most of the time, the JP stream actually reads out the skills

swift cliff
#

Manifesting anniversary unit that converts over healing into dmg that would make delta usable

marsh basin
#

Delta is already quite usable. Just not meta delugiggle

swift cliff
#

Nicee

marsh basin
#

Compared to Sora, who was so bad I don't even remember her kit (nor own her even on my whale account kek )

#

Shame since I actually liked her

marsh basin
zenith mauve
# swift cliff Expect a must pull unit

a hair over 800 mileage, 40 or so rainbow tickets, 35k and some change gems. Will probably buy the entire step-up package before it leaves in the next few days (still mulling that one over). I'm just super hyped for Nayuta right now. Hopefully I can stick her in my campaign team

marsh basin
#

so if by chance Delta's kit is somehow meta for one of those units, we'll still have a chance to pull for her before the update drops and banner ends

eager ravine
#

Do you see a world where it's beneficial/more overall SR damage.. to give delta to crown, reunite Maids and helm to another team?

#

Na.. now I think more.. anni will surely bring a broken support

I can relogin in a second, though note my main account's Mana is very low investment (my alt has 10/10/10)

marsh basin

About to pass out, but, if I manage to get Delta in 10 pulls on alt, I'll compare her with full invest Mana. Just can't cross compare between accounts cuz my alt is a wind main with crazy good Siren/SBS/Wasuka compared to my main kek

#

thx

bronze hemlock
#

SO is Delta any good? Before I fully commit to skipping her?

robust jewel
#

Maybe quick to see community verdict with there not being a raid to wait for.

#

But rn hearing not so great for her kit in comparison to the eye candy she has.

wraith spoke
bronze hemlock
robust jewel
#

Yeah forcing to go the 12233 approach.

bronze hemlock
#

Which already takes a massive shit all over her usage unless your name is Mast or Anchor.

robust jewel
#

Yeah they the exception since they cover their weak points.

bronze hemlock
#

Or in the case of Mast, pairs perfectly with Crown for maximum damage.

#

I hear of her in PvP, but I'm not too sure.

eager ravine
# wraith spoke isnt that just saying give helmT to crown and reunite maids which is a dps loss

Helm went to mihara/miranda team last fire raid. So on fire you could have crown/delta, maids, helm/miranda.. probably not tho because the go to seems to stack team 1 and 2 generally..

Fire has what..

Rapi/crown + mast
Mihara/miranda
Shotgun/Drake
Grave team

Asuka/rei
Modernia gets chucked in somewhere

Yeah doesn't seem worth splitting mast from crown.. asuka is useless without core.. and modernia doesn't fit with maids either.. I cant even trick myself into pulling

wraith spoke
#

closest is wind raid i think

#

the question is do you want to use helm burst on wind raid, maybe?

#

and how much gain are you getting for this unit

eager ravine
#

Oh I forgot alice

wraith spoke
#

because i asume we will see maids sbs alice -> crown asuka rei siren

eager ravine
#

Wind has so little options probably best to just stack for one or two comps

#

Ok I am convinced she's pretty useless

wraith spoke
#

the real exception will come when we see ani kits tbh

#

maybe we get some copium big dist dmg burster that wants crown

#

or we will see a new support and completely dumpster her more

DELTA: NINJA THIEF REVIEW

TL/DR Skip/filler unit. DeltaNT skill value is too low to warrant a 40 sec cooldown, much less abysmal buffs. dmg taken is not enough to make her even slightly usable.

MLB On a side note, she is absolutely breathtaking. And unlike jill and ada, the burst animation is realy good. Waifu pull only!

for?

#

and over who

regal jetty
#

Wdym over who? You look at the kit, she's not bad per se. She's fine if you want to use her

dim wadi
#

realistically, I would give her a notch over SR anis for new players

#

she is really bad per see

#

im sorry, what do you consider good?

regal jetty
#

Jill is the very bad

#

Imo

dim wadi
#

incorrect

#

jill is super niche selfish dps

#

over neutral unbuilt neutral option she is >

regal jetty
#

Wrong reply

dim wadi
regal jetty
dim wadi
#

and still can be used over unbuilt neutrals

#

not the best, not even close to an alright option

#

but its there

#

on the other side, delta is so underwhelming that I could use an SR unit over her

#

40 seconds of cd is really, really bad

#

20 sec cd wouldnt save her, but 40 seconds kill her

#

and also, the only usable part of the essay kit is the 20% dmg taken at maxed skills

regal jetty
#

We are at the point where 40s doesn't matter. Its the kit

dim wadi
#

and your point being

#

kit is bad anyway

regal jetty
#

She usable if you want to use

#

You want to skip its fine

dim wadi
#

so just because you want to force her use she should be higher tier?

regal jetty
#

But she's alright imo

dim wadi
#

I disagree shrug

regal jetty
#

So what is C tier?

dim wadi
#

alright is crust

#

alright is idk

#

A tier is Alright

#

Bad

#

Complete unusable

#

something along those lines

regal jetty
#

You rather put crust in A and delta in C

#

What is this?

#

Even bready didn't even use her

#

Sustained dmg rather use sRosanna

dim wadi
#

For you to see how bad delta is lol

#

Crust has better buffs wahahaha

regal jetty
#

But she's unused?

gray terrace
#

Ranking crust over delta is crazy

#

Crust loses to balice in usage

rose bay
#

crust basically exists for bready so if it's not a water raid she's not going to get used

#

and Bready has giga inflated attack so her mid attack buffs aren't even that good

#

Crust is a walking distributed damage buff and only SBS/Bready do relevant distributed damage

#

if you want to run them you can probably give them maids

rugged lake
#

ofc if you need healing

dim wadi
#

in a real scenario

dim wadi
dim wadi
gray terrace
#

that's very doubtful

#

unless it's a boss that consistently bypasses shield or does many instances of dmg very fast

#

even having a delta living through 2 min then dying is higher dmg than using balice

#

delta should be around neutral xlud in that rating (assuming offburst)

rugged lake
dim wadi
#

kekw you cannot be serious

#

im sorry no.

rugged lake
#

why ?

dim wadi
#

she will held the team back

#

its lower final damage

#

and survival is not that important anymore

#

a lot of bosses can be tackled without healers

#

and the few cases that do need

#

we have better options

rugged lake
#

i dont know what you mean tbh, i know shes not a must to have, but still shes fine as SR unit, she's on par with thelm with buffs and does heal

dim wadi
#

on my testings

#

that did not hold true

#

final dmg was low

#

way too low

#

to even warrant wasting a slot

rugged lake
#

shes does better than thelm as flex, but you need to have sufficient burst gen for that, like in this example

dim wadi
#

can I copy the setup and run myself?

#

but oh well

#

rapu/marci over delta in there did a shy 8%-10% less

#

also those teams are pretty pilgrim heavy

#

idk man, saying she is a good flex over several other b2 is unrealistic

#

and btw, that she has more final dmg as helm is pretty unreal too

#

is that helm 0 ele 0 atk 0 ammo?

#

pepelaugh come on...

dim wadi
#

I cannot see that holding true

#

at all

#

its very little improvement vs units that just heal

#

if the whole argument is "use with crown" then be my guest to justify using her over anyone else that is better

pine fractal
#

what in the copium

#

any reasonable Helm would not be doing piss poor off-burst damage

#

how much of that is Delta is good
and how much of that is B1 personal damage from one extra MG
+140mil gain on Siren personal damage in fire weak?

#

all these hyper optimistic pairings
in which scenario would you allow Crown to be wasted with DeltaNT

gray terrace
#

against bosses with primarily st attacks, a decent delta should replace a healer like balice fairly well

#

if you consider 12% dmg taken very little improvement, then ig ppl using off-burst xlud should have just ran any other off-burst dps instead SadgeWork

#

and ig eve's only job ever in hyper rapi is personal dmg

#

since that 10% dmg taken is useless

dim wadi
#

Sadge I dont remember a boss I was forced to use a healer into aside from hard 38 and hard 40

#

and maybe the anchor shenanigans

gray terrace
#

who tf using delta in campaign

dim wadi
#

or SR too

#

looking at enikk

gray terrace
#

yeah those are guys with max core max doll like everything, and sweats

dim wadi
#

im f2p and didnt since prob black snake

gray terrace
#

if we use them as the sole guide for unit usability, then ig balice is same tier as crow

#

actually she does give ammo, but that's all she'll ever offer yeah?

dim wadi
#

and enable crown

#

as much as delta does

gray terrace
#

balice crown is the actual brick

dim wadi
#

so square 1

gray terrace
#

12% dmg taken

dim wadi
#

too few

gray terrace
#

it's why xlud off-burst is used (well not so popular these days)

dim wadi
#

and others burst 2 exist

gray terrace
#

and why eve is good on hyper rapi

#

delta burst doesn't matter

#

unless niche comp

#

she's off-burst in almost all use cases

dim wadi
#

I dont see anyone using crown either alone or with mmast/naga/helmt

#

aside from people that want to force delta use

#

she will prob never be used in raids

pine fractal
#

why is Crown still in the conversation
do we really need this unrealistic "best case" scenario
in order to justify DeltaNT
any sensible player would not be running this

gray terrace
#

delta doesn't need to be forced to put in crown, although that is possible

dim wadi
#

well if there is no crown

gray terrace
#

assuming there's a core-less raid where you want to run maids + helmt (dot ig) + crown

dim wadi
#

then delta is literally trash tier

#

there is no salvation for a 40 sec cd b2

gray terrace
#

delta solo just needs to be able to survive vs boss, which prob is invest and boss dependent

dim wadi
#

what boss we talking about man

gray terrace
#

unless it's a boss that actually requires 0 healing

dim wadi
#

mat H UR?

#

or what

gray terrace
#

boss doing too much dmg for no healer (xlud), few enough attacks to not need high heals (balice)

dim wadi
#

in what element even too

gray terrace
#

element doesn't matter

dim wadi
#

ok lol

dim wadi
gray terrace
#

Shrug not sure why you even think element matters

#

throw her on grave team or something, tf does element do here

#

throw her on any team if you need slight sustain in an off-burst

pine fractal
#

most solo raid don't strictly require healing
we have so many options for sustain
doll, cover repair, shield, heals
so I especially don't understand the emphasis on team wide healer being this major selling point

gray terrace
#

what dmg is delta even doing ele or not

dim wadi
#

and does she provide

#

to the team

#

aside from literally being dead weight

#

without "crown"

gray terrace
#

taunt + buff?

dim wadi
#

SR is not pvp, taunt is useless
9% dmg taken buff?

#

really

#

what boss

pine fractal
#

if you want damage taken debuffer
AsukaW and XLud exists, and won't hold back the team that much
AND won't waste investment materials because they are actually relevant units

dim wadi
#

looking at the last 20 solo raids needed a taunter

dim wadi
#

you are dense

#

or faking it

gray terrace
#

not sure how to break it to you, but vast vast majority of playerbase can't do healerless SR most of the time

pine fractal
dim wadi
#

so lets see

gray terrace
#

who else can offburst sustain + buff aside from naga

dim wadi
#

rouge naga blanc maids helmT

gray terrace
#

rouge is locked

#

naga is core-only

#

blanc is locked (kinda)

dim wadi
#

says who

#

you?

gray terrace
#

you telling me you gonna run blanc noir

#

instead of something like grave delta?

dim wadi
#

if I need to scrap the end of the barrel for teams so trash

#

I wouldnt even reach 10% in SR

#

so your point is that you are sync 200 with no OL or dolls in any1

#

Nodders hell yeah brother

pine fractal
#

I haven't seen someone play devil's advocate for a cause this worthless in a while

dim wadi
pine fractal
#

if you truly speak for the casuals, you'd know Naga will be ran regardless of existence of core
look at the more popular SG comp against Merciless Judge
Tove Naga MPriv BSoda Drake

gray terrace
#

you do realize grave balice is quite common right?

dim wadi
#

hahaha

#

lol

gray terrace
#

personally I run it more often than I run healer-less grave Shrug

#

I don't mald

#

0.5% every raid

#

ig I'm casual

#

you guys are around top 200 SR ppl too much

gray terrace
dim wadi
#

or maybe you are an outlier

#

and inside your bubble cannot reach the surface

gray terrace
#

naga on coreless boss outside of sg/tia is just balice

pine fractal
#

and this is suppose to give you credibility when you say Delta is good because "sustain"

#

k

gray terrace
#

if delta sustain is good enough, she's a sustain that also universally buffs

#

balice powercreep

#

that's good enough to be usable for most

dim wadi
#

frog in a well!

#

carry on

#

aha, also

#

top 8% dont need sustain too

#

in the last 3 raids

#

but ig im the wrong one LOL!

gray terrace
#

?

#

ofc you almost never need sustain, look at top players???

#

but how many actually go no sustain?

dim wadi
#

8% is top?

gray terrace
#

you can get 50% no sustain running trash team max doll max core, what's your point

dim wadi
#

sync 227

#

no need 5 teams with heals

#

nah man whatever

gray terrace
#

go ask an avg player to run that comp

dim wadi
#

worthless convo

#

yeah full auto

#

avg player meta

#

bye bye

pine fractal
#

Delta good because sustain, got it
that is the full extent of the rationale behind this take
completely discarding that she does not exist in a vaccum

#

better options exist as off burst
better methods exist on surviving
and better hills to die on exists

gray terrace
pine fractal
#

I would first look at the boss I'm up against
the rest of team members, gauge my options
then soon realise that Delta is, optimistically, on page 2 in my list of alternatives

gray terrace
#

going off prydwen tierlist in b2 slot, I would put her in bossing around A tier, arguably bottom A/top B tier depending on how high you value peak (1 element) performance

pine fractal
#

holy copium

gray terrace
#

Shrug seems extremely reasonable to me

#

A tier

#

B tier

#

although idk what leona is doing there

pine fractal
#

I don't need to speak on Trina and Arcana, we witness their value this week against electric weak
same goes for SHelm against iron weak
these three cannot be benched if the player wish to score high
ViperT is tough, water is a competitive element, but with enough ELE in OL, usable
if you think Delta can be compared to any of these four, you're high

gray terrace
#

yes that's why I included this

#

delta peak is ofc lower than them

pine fractal
#

Delta doesn't peak at all

dim wadi
#

what is delta peak btw

gray terrace
#

her floor is higher than their floor

dim wadi
#

for you

#

like

#

80 40 + core 7

gray terrace
#

prob a boss that wants to run helmt, maids, crown separate, no core

dim wadi
#

what

gray terrace
#

what, isn't that like the optimal situation for delta

dim wadi
#

no?

gray terrace
#

helmt maids off the table, naga off the table

#

who else you use as flex for crown

#

ig off-burst dps like mihara is possible

dim wadi
#

or raven

gray terrace
#

xlud prob depends on xlud invest

dim wadi
#

or anyone really actually

#

man actually, if you want to use her

gray terrace
#

I don't think most dps off-burst will do better than 12% dmg taken for your hyper

dim wadi
#

be happy, she is really pretty

#

off meta is the way, one handed full auto

#

if having healers make it possible

gray terrace
#

you really do need to check some other channels where ppl post their runs

dim wadi
#

yes I check newbie

#

and help daily

#

if you are out of touch because you are in a bubble

#

please, actually you need to check channels

gray terrace
#

how many ppl can you find between 1% and 3% that run no healers

#

oh what's this, 88 rank with naga as healer t1?

#

must be ass

#

tbf they didn't need naga

dim wadi
#

that is for scarlet not to kill herself...

gray terrace
#

trina is enough heals

#

maybe low invest trina

dim wadi
#

bad example

gray terrace
#

my trina actually solo sustains very well

#

can even eat a fart

#

yeah lemme find another

#

you want me to count naga on sg?

#

prob not, naga dmg quite good personally, so more than healer

#

1.52%, some weird ass teams tbh

pine fractal
#

how can someone be this... confident

dim wadi
gray terrace
#

tiga over grave

dim wadi
#

t1 no heal

#

again

pine fractal
#

I can't

dim wadi
#

mate really

#

please

#

its not wrong to admit being incorrect

pine fractal
#

I like Delta as a character
but you don't see me huffing that copium this hard

gray terrace
#

why they running tiga over grave + flex if they can really go no healer on all

#

this raid is more healer-less friendly than most others we've had tbh

dim wadi
#

man please, please

#

you already proved yourself wrong

pine fractal
#

the more pending question is
why does someone who clearly values comfort over meta
weighing in on meta

gray terrace
#

? meta? you mean this line?

#

you can argue her being just below that line, I would be fine with that

#

I could very well see her top 200 usage rate being extremely low, maybe none for a few raids

#

if that's what you mean by meta

#

those same players would rate balice as pretty trash, idk her usage rate top 200, prob almost none as well

pine fractal
#

I'm not the guy who said Delta is equal to the likes of SHelm or Trina

dim wadi
#

so you will really just ignore anything said

#

why chat at all?

gray terrace
#

actually maybe not rem, maybe giga invest can be usable these days, haven't seen her in forever tho

pine fractal
dim wadi
#

marci should drop a tier

#

same as rapu maybe

pine fractal
#

when is the last time I've seen Marciana used

gray terrace
#

rapu is higher

pine fractal
#

rapu is higher icant

gray terrace
#

if no balice, rapu is off-burst healer

#

marci needs to burst

#

marci < rapu

pine fractal
#

ok we've peaked

#

I can't

dim wadi
#

yes she is higher than marci ok

#

but marci is really C

gray terrace
#

actually marci prob doesn't need to burst, but heals are worse anyway

#

I don't think the dolla ranking has changed due to this raid

#

this raid sure, but she was there before this raid

dim wadi
#

sometimes used

#

by ppl that miss b1 cdrs

pine fractal
gray terrace
#

yeah but dolla being better is just bc of this raid no?

#

at least mostly

dim wadi
gray terrace
#

but she was there before

dim wadi
#

dolla is the same rank

#

not better

#

she is cdr

#

and 20 sec, somewhat good buffs

#

worlds better than delta for example

gray terrace
#

they don't really even compete for same slot, dolla competes kinda for b1 more often, so dolla is a weird one

#

b2 cdr is weird case

dim wadi
#

ok so

#

can you test yourself

#

same teams as sent

gray terrace
#

here are the guys in C btw

dim wadi
#

marci over delta

#

check dmg % difference

gray terrace
#

? you serious? ok what team

#

I'll prob have to scope lock, ain't building marci so her dmg is passable

#

bc marci is offering heals and personal dmg, that's it

#

in bossing, I don't think any of the guys in C except maybe novel can beat delta

dim wadi
#

actually its prob useless because im back to square 1 into healing crown

#

just use any team you like

#

and compare

pine fractal
#

you know what's funny?

gray terrace
#

mari can't even heal crown well actually

pine fractal
#

THIS IS ON WATER WEAK

#

SHelm is USELESS HERE

gray terrace
#

isn't that due to extra cdr

pine fractal
#

I CAN'T

#

THIS GUY

dim wadi
#

run 4 man team

#

vs 5 with delta

#

leave 1 slot empty

gray terrace
#

12% dr undiluted translating to 4% dmg gain shiftyderp

pine fractal
#

the Delta differential

gray terrace
#

yeah her dmg taken is somehow way less than it says? something like that?

dim wadi
#

you need to burst to get all the dmg taken

gray terrace
#

12% off-burst

dim wadi
#

at 10/x/10

gray terrace
#

bursting delta is brick in almost every situation

dim wadi
#

or is it just s1

gray terrace
#

except some weird crown ones with dist iirc according to maths, maybe those changed

#

just s1

dim wadi
#

dist buff doesnt matter

#

at all

#

for sbs

#

bready

#

quency

gray terrace
dim wadi
#

whoever else has it

gray terrace
#

this is like 95% of her value

dim wadi
#

12% is too low

#

its almost 0

gray terrace
#

12% is 12%, plus some slight sustain (boss dependent)

#

it's enough to sway ppl into using xlud off-burst and eve with rapi in hyper

dim wadi
#

it isnt

gray terrace
#

well if you think 12% dmg taken is functionally worthless, then yeah there's nothing to be said, to you she's just a worse balice, worse sustain, same team dmg

#

I can definitely see where you're coming from if you have that initial assumption, I don't, so that's why we're wasting time here

dim wadi
#

which is what you can attest by testing

#

12% is functionally too low

pine fractal
#

I don't think 12% damage taken (at S1 level 10, off burst) has no value
but if she's meta to you, then what can I say? have fun your way

#

this conversation has been very unproductive

gray terrace
#

I never said she was meta (unless you mean the tierlist meta line), then she can be argued to be borderline

#

she's definitely usable

dim wadi
#

she is borderline unusable

gray terrace
#

yeah you put her C in boss neutral, if going by prydwen tierlist, that's too low

#

B minimum, A possibly depending on acc/player/boss

dim wadi
#

she doesnt belong to B tier

#

not even close to A

#

and prydwen tl is somewhat outdated too

#

as kisenix and snake talked abt

gray terrace
#

I don't have anything else to base tiers off of, yeah prydwen is outdated

dim wadi
#

but yeah

pine fractal
#

I still can't believe I have to explain why Delta is not on par with SHelm, Trina, and Arcana
sometimes "sustain" doesn't cut it

gray terrace
#

I'm not sure why I have to explain why she isn't same tier/lower than these guys either

#

og sakura is somehow in B tier (prob never updated), delta is better than her

#

noise is also in B for bossing

pine fractal
#

Mast can function as max HP buffer, if lack of options
Biscuit, Poli has the beloved sustain that you need
Delta has 12~20% damage taken, Novel has 67% for ~half uptime

#

Sakura is a 40sec B1 CDR unit

gray terrace
#
  • a lack of better options (for who? 2b?) is better than delta, who's A_NoteTao ... good for those with a lack of better options
  • 40 sec sustain that offer no dmg without bursting is better than delta
  • 40 sec b1 cdr in this day and age with like 6-7 better options (I think) is better than delta
regal jetty
pine fractal
#

true

gray terrace
#

novel I can believe, never used her, but I did hear she was meta at start

pine fractal
#

I'm not saying Delta must be C tier
but being high on copium and putting Delta on A is also not healthy for you

regal jetty
#

Delta definitely doesn't fit in C tier

gray terrace
#

if you consider peaks over overall usage, yes she definitely isn't in A

regal jetty
#

Who is in A tier btw?

gray terrace
#

in neutral I sure would be more likely to use delta over arcana/viper/shelm

pine fractal
gray terrace
#

trina arguable tbh with a pve built scar, but mine is ammo bricked now due to pvp

pine fractal
#

pick an element, ANY element, that has Delta having the same value as those four

gray terrace
#

any element those 4 are not in

pine fractal
#

lmao

dim wadi
#

...

gray terrace
#

so neutral, delta beats all 4 or tie

dim wadi
#

she does not

gray terrace
#

you telling me ppl running arcana and viper off ele?

dim wadi
#

or delta

#

?

pine fractal
#

you're telling me people will run Delta at all

gray terrace
#

no xlud, they run delta

#

how many units do they have to miss before they run those off ele

dim wadi
#

no...

dry badge
#

using tier lists when there’s constant powercreeping KizunaBlur

pine fractal
#

lack of options apparently warrants a tier upgrade
because the meta for the player base revolves around your account situation and personal preference
got it

gray terrace
#

confused_dog ... yeah? at least in part? still gotta rank those outside of the meta picks?

#

why is novel higher than crow?

#

no one uses either rn

pine fractal
#

"me thinks Delta A tier because I need healing"
yea sure 😐 👍

dim wadi
#

you dont make sense

gray terrace
#

yeah same here, you guys don't make sense to me either

#

do you guys think she's C tier?

pine fractal
#

and what the helly is the Novel Crow comparison
Crow is B3

#

what the fuck

gray terrace
#

ok yuni

#

same thing

#

they should be all same tier

#

all never used

dim wadi
gray terrace
#

sure you can actually make a tierlist like that

dim wadi
#

what a perfect way to deflect

gray terrace
#

but that's not the one I'm basing this off of

dim wadi
#

did you read my review at least

gray terrace
#

tell me what I deflected

#

I didn't, saw the C, checked prydwen, got annoyed thumbs_up

pine fractal
gray terrace
#

is there something in your review that would somehow change where I place her in prydwen tierlist?

dim wadi
#

do read it if anything

pine fractal
#

you're so right, king

dim wadi
#

in fact, maybe

#

up to you

#

read it or not, wont change how I rate chars

gray terrace
#

you rate your list how you want, C tier can easily make sense depending on how you rated the other units

#

I'm just going off prydwen Shrug

dim wadi
#

waste of time

cursive oracle
#

so pull 1 just for goon?

pine fractal
#

I told my union members to skip

#

just for goon, sure

gray terrace
#

wowsers

#

your review actually is even harsher than I would assume

#

a lot of dramatic language huh

#

you focus too much on her as a bursting b2

#

so C tops

pine fractal
#

I like how the entire damn conversation
distributed damage isn't mentioned once

gray terrace
#

what, would it matter

pine fractal
gray terrace
#

I'm considering delta burst as essentially not there

dim wadi
#

pepelaugh surely it would give her a tier above

#

exactly

gray terrace
#

she's not b2 burster, she's off-burst sustain/buffer

pine fractal
#

it's the ONE thing that would make her stand out
but nope, doesn't fit my argument of needing healing
so didn't even bother bringing it up

gray terrace
#

if I take away her s1 dmg taken, bruh she's E tier?

#

yeah E tier

cursive oracle
#

i was under the assumption that bigger boobs meant bigger damage

gray terrace
#

actually maybe D

#

you essentially took away her s1 dmg taken, so now that I think about it

#

your review makes a lot of sense, with that initial assumption that s1 isn't there

pine fractal
gray terrace
#

ThumbsUp so actually pretty consistent

cursive oracle
dim wadi
#

12% is not enough to consider anything

rose bay
#

Delta burst is basically just for bready

#

You probably have a better B2 on your team

gray terrace
#

I disagree, but with that assumption, yes everything you said I agree with

dim wadi
#

when she is realistically just a dmg taken buff dead weight

rose bay
#

DMG taken buff isn't dead weight DoroTHINK

dim wadi
#

would you give her a level 10 s1

#

or lv 7

pine fractal
#

lv7 is 7% iirc

rose bay
#

Especially with all the "good" standard DPS being giga self atk buff bloated to push pilgrims

#

I think that's the new hoyo meta

#

If a standard DPS is good on paper it's a bitch to buff

dim wadi
#

thats just your assumption from the top of your head

gray terrace
#

dps ain't getting dmg taken anytime soon without becoming support as well

you can even test in sync lock to not waste materials

#

unless they somehow make it so only the dps benefits from the dmg taken

dim wadi
#

its negligible

I don't consider bready a unit wahahaha she has dmg taken?

rose bay
#

Yes

#

10 or 11% on her sustained DMG form

gray terrace
#

yeah but doesn't this also help team

rose bay
#

Unfortunately sustained DMG mode requires sros who has a higher damage taken

gray terrace
#

as long as dmg taken is a debuff applied on enemy, the unit inherently gains support capability

#

which adds extra value to a dps

#

so if they do it, the value stays low

rose bay
#

Or crust kekmorbL

gray terrace
#

so it'll never get heavily diluted until we get a new meta dmg taken support (blanc 2.0)

rose bay
#

Bready DMG taken buff is pretty close to siren

dim wadi
#

it is diluted in the formula already

rose bay
#

Bready siren tier???

dim wadi
#

dmg taken doesnt mean 1 on 1 dmg increase

gray terrace
#

? isn't dmg taken a completely separate multi

dim wadi
#

Sadge im

#

sad.

gray terrace
#

oh actually

#

dist dmg is same group

#

but that's it

#

idk what you would even do to put delta in same team as a dist dmg buffer

#

srosa? dot team without helmt?
